Thought I knew

I thought I knew the depth of your blue eyes
until I saw the way you looked at her

I thought I knew your strength
until I saw how you helped her cling to the essence of life

I thought I knew your gentleness
until I saw her clutching your finger

I thought I knew your grace
until I saw how you kept vigil by her side

I thought I knew your passion
until I heard you question her carers

I thought I knew your magic
until I saw a world where only you and her exist

I thought I knew how caring you were
until I heard you whispering to her

I thought I knew how you offered protection
until I saw you choosing hope above everything else

I thought I knew your beauty
until I saw her light shining inside you

I thought I knew your spirit
until I saw your sacred love for her

I thought you were my personal angel

Celestial beings need angels too
